We also see leader Blackout behind him in both his modes but we only see his lower leg and rotors when it comes to his robot mode. Still, this is our very first look at him since the initial leaked images and the best proof possible that he is indeed coming. These appearing at a show means we are very close to seeing better images of these.
For those wondering, the other deluxes in this line will be Bumblebee, Decepticon Crowbar, Ratchet, Jazz and Lockdown while the only other known leader class figure will be Grimlock. Judging from the reported prices of the Takara releases (which are probably the same figures repackaged for the Japanese market), these should be at the same price points as the Transformers the Last Knight toys. Which means we should expect a similar level of detail, complexity and paint.
Here is the photo, enjoy!

He does look kinda 'blocky' in general shape at moment but that could just be the angle or pose. Looking forward to better photos.

Now that you mention it, the picture does make me think of a one-step. Thank God that isn't the case though!

Maybe its unpainted?

I thing the one in the back is a photo, the figure is on the right (with green markings). At least it isn't that dull blue like the original.
Stinger looks like a mass of kibble with elbows.

Huh, I actually like the "dull" blue

But I am so thrilled for this new line. I was just playing with voyager Premium Blackout last week and he is so fun. It really says something about the impact some of the cons from the first movie had, seeing as how everyone wants a leader Blackout and Barricade is the first con getting a movie masterpiece figure that is not just a slightly changed leader class figure.

It was an Optimus Prime which was also at the Taiwan TFCC and it was a new mold but I was wondering why people didn't show it. I mean I understand that the figure has similar elements from the ROTF Leader Class but I have it and that looks totally different.
What image is that? I don't have access to the group, so can't see it myself.

I joined the group and yet I do not see such an image anywhere.
Fruityrobo, get back to us when you have a minute, showing us what image you are referrng to. Thanks!

Leader Blackout and Voyager Brawl are two figures I really want to own, and I was thinking my movie Decepticon shelf would just be those two with TLK Nitro Zeus and Megatron (which is better, the Leader or the Voyager?), the DOTM Deluxe Soundwave and Barricade I already own (unless TLK Deluxe Barricade is better, what's the consensus on that?) and a Starscream.

Voyager, in my opinion.

TLK Voyager Megatron is better and scales better too with Zeus and the rest. Also, for your soundwave, you might want to look into the MB Soudnwave hat was recently released, it scales really well with the other decepticons you mention (even though they probably didnt share the same scenes together).

Yeah I think Voyager Megatron is better (mainly cos he folds his wings neatly around his legs and his arm cannon isn't just a huge jet nose con section) and if you want a larger one there's a great upscaled KO of it that actually improves on it in a couple areas on the arms (with swivel wrists and flaps to cover up the forearm gaps where the hands come out of
Plus I just really like the transformation scheme of the Voyager and it's spent a lot of time on my desk rather than the shelf cos i keep playing with it.

We count 10 deluxes, 7 voyagers and 3 leaders. As you cans see in this comprehensive guide to the line, we currently only know of 6 deluxes, 6 voyagers and 2 leaders. It could be that in the database update, all codes for the entire line were entered all at once to avoid further database updates. If that is the case, then this would mean that we have our best indication yet at the size of the Transformers Studio Series line in 2018. Which do you think could be that third leader figure? Which movie leader needs a new mold? Would Jetfire be the best contestant? Let us know!

This, all the way
Although, down the line I would not mind it if they used their newfound combiner might to make a proper, large Devastator

If he ultimately becomes Rodimus Prime that(not blowing the surprise of that event on screen too soon)would be a practical reason to keep a future Rodimus Prime Leader Class toy a secret for now. JMO, and pure speculation.

From what the film showed us, Hot Rod is Hot Rod in name only and shows no sign that he will ever have a role akin to the one he had in the original show.

Imagine this: remember that Cybertron's most wanted botcon set with the movie Megatron? Well, in his universe, he killed both Optimus and Sentinel in DotM, took over Earth, and eventually fell at the hands of Rodimus Prime, which is how he ended up with the CMW crew.
Now think about that again: in that universe, he may possibly have been facing off against a French-accented Prime.

Firstly, it seems the leaders, Grimlock and Blackout, will look a lot like their on screen apparances but have very easy transformations. This was hinted at with the bigger panels present on leader Blackout in the leaked images with his feet resembling Leader Ironihide's. The transformation might be on par with that release in terms of complexity. The fan comments on the great deco and paint on Grimlock but says that the weapon (hammer) can not be removed due to transformation. Grimlock's T-Rex mode is said to be about 40 cm long but hollowed out at the bottom. Blackout will come with a small Scorponok (pictured below).
Voyager Optimus Prime has a similar Transformation and design to MPM-4 (and thus Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime) with good poseability. Starscream will come with his rotor blade (also pictured below) and the design of the toy is similar to the Dark of the Moon deluxe.
Keep in mind, these points are translated from Chinese so some parts may be lost or misinterpreted.

Not sure about 'very easy transformations' on Blackout and Grimlock...that always makes me worried but I'd have to see them properly. And non-removable weapon on Grimlock? Sounds very odd. Voyager Prime sounds good.
Little Scorponok looks great.

The pics of those other toys are part of leaks we were asked not to post on the site. There are still no decent pics out there of any of these toys.

Grimlock: it is all gonna depend. I am satisfied with the AoE Leader, so they will need to do something really dramatic, like make a screen accurate dino mode for me to display him in that mode, for me to get him.
Voyager Prime will be a pass, I got the MP among many others.
Starscream: I only have the first movie voyager, so I will almost definitely get him too.
Yay for another Scorponok!!

We also have a very brief bio which says that Decepticon Blackout shocks human defenses with unstoppable force.
